Stage 4: Computation of target strength. Characteristic strength is the guiding parameter on which mix design shall be based upon. Considering various factors for safe performance of concrete, the mix is designed and is proportioned for higher strength than the characteristic strength of concrete, with some approved margin like SD and other numerical co-efficients. This enhanced strength of concrete to be considered for design is known as target strength. Target strength = Characteristic strength + Numerical co-efficient × Standard deviation

Figure 6 gives an overview of the Payload (sonar) effectiveness activity as an example. Conducting this activity provides the opportunity to capture data for all operational measurements, as per Figure 5, and then capture specific technical data to assess sonar effectiveness. The chart (right) is for illustrative purposes only but demonstrates that sonar effectiveness changes with range-to-target, and target strength.
